But you do see Jack at different areas of the park. He has been seen all in New Orlene Square and on Main Street sometimes.

Y'know I read that article...and I just LOL-ed at everything that was wrong. And quite a bit was wrong. Also the boys were not "fired." They're still kickin' around in different roles.

Exactly. I have a strong feeling this is just another story made up by this idiot who is mad at being fired from Disney for reasons he caused himself. The other Jack's have not been let go, they are in different rolls throughout the park.

Gheez, this guy needs to move on with his life. It's stupid that news companies believe whatever comes out of his mouth.

But the point is that Jack never sticks around after dark. He's usually off before dusk.

I've seen the Jack Sparrow face character in NOS after dark.

IMO (like I and others said in the many Tom Sawyer Island to Pirates Lair debates) the pirate thing is a fad. It is one that is now waning. Disney seldome wants to admit that they "follow fads" (or that they even create them) and so this apparent epidemic of flashing (yeah right) has been served up as a story for the face character's removal...to Disney this sounds like a better reason than saying "well the Pixies are the next and more current cash cow, Jack has served his purpose and we're done with him for now."

Re: Flashing Girls Prompt Disneyland to Can 'Jack Sparrow' Actors

So if this isn't true -- or some part of it isn't true -- then why would there be no more Jack Sparrow? Isn't he one of the most popular Disney characters? It's certainly not inconceivable that the actions (in general) of some female guests towards Jack Sparrow are making DL a little less 'family friendly'.

Re: Flashing Girls Prompt Disneyland to Can 'Jack Sparrow' Actors

If the guys are still working at the Park, then it does sound like (for once) money wasn't the reason Jack Sparrow was canned. Unless Jack involved some form of extra hazard pay due to the crazed fans...

Re: Flashing Girls Prompt Disneyland to Can 'Jack Sparrow' Actors

All I can think is if I ride topless through Winnie the Pooh, could I get Country Bears back? Cause, seriously, I might be willing to take that hit.

Half of me just wants to dismiss this and the other half thinks there may be a grain of truth in it. I know and understand that people just make stuff up about Disney because whatever they say will make it to the papers.....but I have seen the way those girls acted around Jack. It was more than a little intense. And there have been people who have sent in letters saying they conceived they're child one Small World or PoC and if people can do that then it's not to much of a stretch to see them flashing a pirate. Meh..... stupid girls
